UNEXPECTED SHAMPOO
Maybe some knitters get together and just knit, or just talk about knitting. I doubt it. I look forward to what I will hear, to what I will learn, to what the stitches will produce.
At a recent Knitting Guild gathering the topic of how to wash wool arose; some new product was mentioned and discussed, where it was available, how much it cost, was it worthwhile, who had actually tried it.
One woman suddenly said that she used Sunlight soap. She is a weaver and a spinner as well as a knitter so, she being a person with experience in wool fibre from 'sheep to shawl', I paid extra attention to this input(meaning I remembered it: I have forgotten the name of the new product).
Later, at home, undoing my hair preparatory to washing it, my gaze latched onto the bar of yellow Sunlight soap sitting cheerily on the bathtub rim; I use it for hand washing clothing and it just then occurred to me that I also use it for woolen garments.
The next thought, with hands in hair, was “fibre!” and then, "why not?".
Well, it worked very nicely. It left my hair clean and soft and manageable; lord, I sound like a commercial. But it did!
